Last night was the humungous party for my mom's 90th birthday. It was a huge success -- so many people there that we haven't seen in 20, 30, even 40 years. I'm tired!

This afternoon was a funeral for the baby of a friend, 16-months old. He died on my mom's birthday and then the celebration of his life was in the same place were we celebrated mom's big event last night. Make you wonder, these patterns.

Next weekend is DH's 65th. Not as large a party, thank goodness!

I've had a few (well, four) pounds slippage but am determined to nip that trend in the bud.

I think I smell that veggie pizza is ready. Happy trails, until we meet again.

didn't even realize just how long it had been since i visited the royal palace. wanted to stop in and send my greetings to all royals, both near and far. this year has been flying by. haven't been sticking to food plan as well as i would like but have recommitted more staunchly recently, so onward and downward i go. thinking of you all, dear queenlies.

Sadly, WSW, our group seems to be sputtering to a halt. It's been such a long time since anyone but the two of us posted. I think it may be time to start a new group. I'd love the palace to be here if any of the wandering return but I really think we need more posters. What do you think?

I've been tracking food and exercise on Spark People but haven't joined the forum.

Hope all is well with you!

I'm sad to close the Palace doors after all this time but we've been rattling around in here and it's getting a little echo-ey.

Incidentally, you could find me as Sirenella on the site I mentioned above. I haven't posted on the forum but would be amenable to doing so. I like the capacity to track food and exercise on that site.

All the best to you as well, WSW. I've valued your friendship over the Palace years.
